Four-star cornerback and rising senior Danny Lang is among the most coveted names on the West Coast.

With nearly 30 offers under his belt and a recruitment that has spanned over two years, Lang is ready to make his college choice.

According to 247Sports' Blair Angulo, Lang will announce his pledge on Wednesday, March 25. He's down to a trio of finalists; Auburn, Oregon, and USC.

The Tigers, Ducks, and Trojans all offered Lang back in the summer of 2024. He's scheduled official visits to each program.

Lang has yet to set foot on Auburn's campus. He took an unofficial visit to Oregon last fall and has taken at least three trips to USC, which is less than an hour from his high school.

USC and Oregon both sit among the top-15 in the recruiting rankings at the moment, while Auburn is down at No. 45. The Ducks hold a commitment from four-star running back CaDarius McMiller. The Trojans and Tigers don't hold a pledge at the position in the class.

During his junior season at Mater Dei High School, Lang totaled 31 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 fumble recovery, and 10 pass deflections. He's been credited with 3 forced fumbles and 2 interceptions during his prep career.

The 5-foot-11.5, 160-pound cornerback is regarded as the No. 75 overall prospect, the No. 10 CB, and the No. 8 recruit in California in the 2027 class according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.
